I've built several sets of "traditional" road wheels, e.g. 32-spoke 3-
cross patterns that have held up well. Now I want to try a set with
fewer spokes using bladed spokes, and not looking for super-light
racing use, just some extra bling. With a basic rim like a Velocity
Aerohead or Mavic OP, what is the lowest spoke count I can use without
pushing the envelope? I am 150 lbs. Would 24 front/ 28 rear be
reasonable?

No of course not but the guy was asking about bladed type spokes and
ovals for non slotted hubs. I haven't built but maybe 2 or 3 rear
wheels with bladed spokes this year. Never with oval. Too expensive,
too thin, for what ya get.

cover the spokes with 8 spaced sections dayglo poster paper with air
space be tween so the color pulses as you ride. good for ATL!

HOLY SMELTER 72 spokes? per wheel?
while not in the act of acquiring exotic cycle parts, my recent
purchase of 2! $11 triple cranksets and a $15 rear deray
notwithstanding, I savor the occasional viewing of $600 wheelsets
insitu.
They wait. they pose. they puff.
I say. wow. lookit that. I count uno dos tres....whatzit?
whatever they're doin', boulevard, serious mitty workouts, GP fanatsy,
I never find, asking questions of it, a hands on this is an owner
built and/or maintained wheelset!

Setting up a bike with a bar saddle relationship that puts your ass up
in the air like a horny baboon should prove to be an effective way to
"cruise" some parts of town, for sure.

The only thing the people behind me see is the back of my head (or my
Magic Foam Hat [TM] when I choose to wear it). :)
It does take some getting used to to ride in a group when you can not
tell when the riders in front are pedaling or not.

I had a rear that the customer threw the RD into the spokes on a
Eurus..$154 in spokes and 3 hours to relace...Rdiculous!! Why I added
'Tullio' and 1901-1983 to my Campagnolo tattoo...Valentino has gone
round the bend with gadgets.

Sure..I have done that for special event wheels on a guy about your
weight. if true 'bladed, may have to slot the hubs.
I used 24-2 cross fron, Revolution spokes on a DT hub and Velocity
Aerohead rim. Rear was 28-3 cross, DT hub, 14/15 right side and
Revolutions left side...on a Velocity Aerohead OC rim. Weighed about
1475 grams..about $750. If you are going to use oval spokes, like
Aerospeeds from DT, remember these are really thin and may not be OK
for the right side rear..OK for the front and left side rear tho.
Pricey too..

Do you believe aero spokes on a rear wheel, behind turbulence of legs
and bike, do anything much?

Heck, just buy a cheap roll of clear packing tape and cover the spokes
to make a disc wheel!
I once road with a guy who did exactly that.

You know, for bling it's hard to beat 72 spoke wheels.
I had a special run of 72 hole Velocity Deep-Vs made for me, and one
of my friends laced up a pair with DT Revolution 15/17ga spokes, 3
leading 3 trailing pattern. Two whole boxes of spokes! We modified a
SRAM Spectro 7 gearhub with drum brake and an American Classic disc
front hub with 36 holes per flange.
He put them on his 63cm pink Colnago. He weighed about 135 lbs, so he
could probably have gotten by with fewer than 72 spokes per wheel.

Plenty of Nio30s (same profile as Deep V but 120g lighter) with CX-
Rays (very light oval spoke) holding up 160 lb riders with only 18f
and 24r... me included. They aren't babied either. With a shallow and
light rim like the Aerohead you'd want 24f and 28r I think.

I wasted a chunk of Monday replacing six spokes in a crashed Eurus
(7+14) rear, ending with a hop midway between spoke groups.
OTOH I rode my ancient 32h front with a broken spoke for ten days until
I had time to repair it - brake didn't rub but the noise of a flailing
spoke was annoying.
48 spokes may be overkill but 32 is a fine and durable spoke count for
medium weight (150lb) riders IMHO. Yes, you can build down to 24 or even
16 with available components but why???

I think I saw at least two of the bikes when I visited this spring.
Thing is, the fewer spokes, the deeper/stronger the rim needs to be.
Stick with silver or black.
A look around shows the DA28s only available in 32 drillings. Still, a
set of those can be built up with some Revolutions or Laser spokes on
your choice of hubs for cheap, and should be stupid strong. My
spreadsheet gives 1750g as a guessed weight with brass nips and
Ultegra hubs. $250 to build or so if you get hubs on sale. Basic black
keeps you looking like less of a douchebag--of which Atlanta has a
frightening amount. Sure their hangout isn't called "The Rubber Rose"
in homage to the Robbins book?

Yeah. A couple of those goons have Aerospoke plastic wheels on the

At your weight that should be fine. Would also depend on the spokes,
don't use 14/17. Good quality 14/15 Sapim or DT should be fine.

Are there 24h open pros?
24/28 would work; I don't know if sacrificing a bit of durability for
such a small gain is reasonable. Velocity does pump out lots of 24h
Aerohead wheels, as 24/32 is what their Aerohead-based wheelset uses.

Haven't seen the Aerohead drilled fewer than 28, however the Deep-V
can go as low as 16! Deep Vs with 24 rear and 18 Front or therebouts
will look flashy enough to impress at the coffeeshop. Alex also makes
a Deep section rim for very little money, the D-28. $35 and
16,20,24,28 or 32 drillings. Only black, so no funky colors to impress.

While this is all well and good, I can't help but have a strong distaste
